• A Pension Life Certificate in Australia is a document that certifies that a pensioner is still alive and eligible to receive their pension payments.
• It is an important requirement for pensioners to provide evidence of their ongoing eligibility to receive their pension payments.

• The Pension Life Certificate can be certified by a Justice of the Peace, a solicitor, or a public notary, and it is important to ensure that the certificate is completed accurately and submitted on time to avoid any delay in pension payments.

Please explain what are other uses for obtaining this document/certificate.
